Abstract

This article analyzes the development and the present status of Idaho's water appropriation system to consider the constitutional obstacles and proposes a plan for the maximization of the state's presently unappropriated water. The article suggests that a mandatory permit system is constitutional and with the proper interpretation of "beneficial use" Idaho can maximize water resource allocation in the public interest.
